Synopsis

This is a module that is distributed with
Tengine which is a distribution
of Nginx that is used by the e-commerce/auction site Taobao.com.
This distribution contains some modules that are new on the Nginx
scene.The ngx_http_footer_filter_module is one of them.

This module implements a body filter that adds a given string
to the page footer.

You might say that it provides a particular case of the http
sub module in the sense that it adds something to the footer.
You can do the same using the http sub module but using the
footer filter should be faster since there's no string matching
done on the request body.

Directives

footerstring

default: ``

context: http, server, location

It defines the string to be printed at the footer of the request body. This string can have variables embedded.

footer_typesMIME types

default: footer_types: text/html

context: http, server, location

Defines the MIME types of the files where the footer will be included.
